FYP PROGRESS - WEEK 4

Title: Research and findings

In this week, Madam Azliza registered my name and the title of the project under her supervision on the FYP website. I should be able to check the application status online once the supervisor approved my application. I have now officially under the supervision of Madam Azliza for my FYP. As my supervisor, Madam Azliza will guide me in the project; recommend approaches, techniques and methods appropriate to achieve the project’s objectives.

A successful project needs to have the right steps and approaches for it to be success. I have came out with a flowchart showing the process and steps that I have to take.

FYP PROGRESS - WEEK 3

WEEK 3

Assalamualaikum.

This post is for progresses made on the third week of completing this project. In this post is about comparison between arduino and microcontroller. 

ARDUINO

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing.

MICROCONTROLLER

A Microcontroller is a IC chip that executes programs for controlling other devices or machines. It is a micro (small size as its a Integrated Circuit chip) device which is used for control of other devices and machines thats why it is called 'Microcontroller'. It is a Microprocessor having RAM,ROM and I/O ports.

ARDUINO	MICROCONTROLLER
Inexpensive - Arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller   platforms.	Flexibility - Microcontrollers are special types of processor chips that are very small and somewhat flexible, due to their programmable nature.
Cross-platform - The Arduino Software (IDE) runs on Windows, Macintosh OSX, and Linux operating systems. Most microcontroller systems are limited to Windows.	Faster Speed of Execution - since are fully integrated inside the processor, i.e. a “computer on a chip” these devices operate at faster speeds to execute instructions compared to general purpose microprocessors.
Simple, clear programming environment - The Arduino Software (IDE) is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users to takes advantage of as well.	Rigid Once - microcontroller are programmed, typically they cannot be reprogrammed, if microcontrollers are controlled by Read-Only Memory(ROM) only rather than Random Access Memory (RAM)

Thank you

FYP PROGRESS - WEEK 2

Submitting the FYP Title

In this week, I have chosen my supervisor Madam Azliza Bte Mohamad Arshad as a supervisor for my FYP project. It is because, she is the best for my FYP project supervision. After discussion and deliberation, my supervisor has agreed with the title "Electricity Automatics Billing System". I agree with this topic because this topic is very appropriate with electronics engineering student like me. I hope this subject can increase my knowledge and useful for my future after graduation and employment.

FYP PROGRESS - WEEK 1
